My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?

My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?
Strange is, that i used it several times, it worked fine. Then wothout any reason (like software updete, etc) it just stopped workung, no sync.
I have not changed any parameters of my TV or Beamer.
Hardware:
Ipad 2, Apple Ipad HDMI Adapter,  Samsung P2770FH, Optoma HD 65.
Thanks for any help.

I've only used mine a couple of times without any problem, but due to the thinness of the iPad, care has to be taken in inserting the adapter.  Slightly wrong angle and it won't go it. 
I had a laptop a few years ago where the USB connector failed. I had it replaced under the warantee,  The service man told me it was not an uncommom failure on a laptop due to people "torquing" the USB socket while inserting/removing USB items.  I have much the same feeling when inserting either the charger cord or my HDMI adapter.
From your description, unless the HDMI adapter failed internally, it sounds like the socket is causing the problem.  A few days ago we watch our first movie from the iPad via my ATV2 and "Air Play".  Worked great so I don't plan on using the HDMI adapter much at all in the future.  Yes, it is a $99 solution, but it works for me.  Of course, I already had the ATV2.  I doubt if I would buy one just for this abiliity.  If nothing else, it seems like a trip to the Apple Genius bar is in order for maybe a replacement unit.
However, with iOS 5 coming out with supposedly total mirroring, it might be worth thinking about getting an ATV2.

  • Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS 8

    My Hdmi adapter (orig. Apple) is not working anymore after upgrade to iOS 8, is there any solution.

    The IOS 8 update has nothing to do with the failure of the device. I have a HDMI adapter and it has worked fine through IOS 6, IOS 7 and IOS 8.
    You may want to restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. If the adapter still fails to work you need to determine if the adapter has failed or the port on your device has failed. Best solution is to go to the Apple store with the device and the adapter. If your adapter has failed it may be under warranty if you still have the sales receipt. If the port on your device is bad then the Apple store will be able to provide you with options.

  • Lightning HDMI Adapter not working with iOS 6.1.2

    I have an iPhone 5 which was updated from 6.0.2 to 6.1.2 recently and the Lightning HDMI adapter stopped working altogether for video mirroring; was wondering if anyone has the same situation/any solution for this?
    I also have an iPad retina generation which is at 6.1.2, and the Lightning HDMI adapter is not working for it as well.
    I've tried replacing HDMI cables, rebooting the iPhone with the cable plugged in, and plugging out/in several times with the charger in/out. The adapter works, cause when I plug it in; I see the top bar flash for a bit... but no dice on the video mirroring to my TV.

    I also have this problem and am very unhappy with the way Apple is handling it. Called today to enquire on when the fix will be available and was told it is a software issue that could be fixed if we paid $35.00 to talked through process on the phone. Highly disappointed with Apple, why should it cost me money for them to fix there own issue. Since they are aware of the issue the least they can do it posted the information for the fix online @ no charge.
    If I wanted crap service I could have gotten a phone from anyone. Reconsidering purchasing a 5 on next upgrade.

  • Mini display port to HDMI adapter not working

    I can not get my MacBook OS X to dispaly on my new Samsung LED TV. I have a mini display port to HDMI adapter (two years old) conneted with an HDMI cable (new) into the HDMI input on the TV. I tried both inputs, tried resetting the TV, plugging, unplugging, restarting, checked all my system preferences...I can not figure it out. I took my cables to a local store, tested the HDMI cable, and it works. Tested the adapter and they had the same problem I have on my Mac. The screen will flash blue when you plug it in, but will not show up in the TV. I think the adapter must be bad, nothing else makes sense???

    Hi Kater24,
    Apple doesn't make a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so the one you've got there is a 3rd party one that's designed to work with the Mini DisplayPort on your Apple computer. The adapter is pretty much plug-n-play, there's no configuration necessary. Plug it into the machine, the HDMI cable from the other end of the adapter into your TV, select the HDMI input on your TV and fire up the computer.
    If that's not working it's possibly an issue with the adapter and/or cable to the TV. Any chance you might have access to another TV for troubleshooting purposes?

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Not Working

    I just got a mini displayport to hdmi adapter that I ordered from dealextreme and it does not work. The adapter had very good reviews and not one review said it didnt work. When I plug in the adapter (with or without a hdmi cable attatched to it) to my macbook, the screen blinks and then goes back to normal. When everything is properly connected the tv shows no input signal (I am on the correct input channel) and the screen doesnt appear in the displayas settings in my macbook pro. I tried to reboot the macbook, shut down and turn on the screen and nothing seemed to work. The detect display option in the system preferences didnt help. I appreciate any help I can get.

  • Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter not working

    I just purchased a 13 inch macbook air and when I use my thunderbolt to hdmi adapter my Samsung monitor along with my other displays do not recognize my mac.  How can I get my monitors/displays to recognize my device?  Do I need software to get this working?
    I am using an amazon high speed hdmi cable with ethernet.  Will that effect my connection?

    I finally learned how to get "Detect Displays" to show up. You have to press the Option key while in the Display pane.
    Unfotrtunately this does not work. No other displays are detected. Yes, the TV is on and plugged in to my computer.

  • Macbook Air HDMI adapter not working

    I know there are other threads about this but they are a bit outdated. So anyway I bought an hdmi adapter for my macbook air and it was working perfectly for about an hour and a half when suddenly the tv registered "no signal" yet the macbook was still saying it was connected to the tv. I thought it may have been a problem with the tv so I tried on another tv in the house, same result. So then i thought it may be the hdmi so i switched them, same result. So now the only problem could be the adapter or my laptop, does anyone know how I can fix my problem???

    Greetings obomb2000,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Air is not outputting video to your TVs using an HDMI adapter, and you've done a good job of isolating this behavior to either the adapter or laptop.
    Here are a few additional steps you can try on your MacBook Air before trying another adapter:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • DisplayPort to HDMI adapter NOT WORKING!!!!

    I have tried and tried and can't get this working. I'm on a T500 and running Windows 7. The T500 just doesn't recognize the external monitor when I have the displayport to hdmi adapter plugged in and an hdmi cable running from that to the external monitor.
    HELP PLEASE???

    I don't have the same ThinkPad as you (I have a T410 with discrete graphics), but I DO have the same Monoprice DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and I can confirm that it does work, when connected via a DVI cable to a Viewsonic LCD monitor.  I did notice that, when the monitor goes into power-saving/sleep mode, the laptop won't recognize it when the laptop resumes from sleep.  I had to toggle the monitor power swtich off/on, and then select it with the laptop's Fn-F7 hotkey (the laptop utility calls it a "projector").  So, you might have to fiddle with that.
    By the way, my 19-inch Viewsonic LCD shows just how crummy the ThinkPad's LCD is, by comparison.  The image via DisplayPort/DVI is fantastic.  The NVIDIA control panel confirms that the ThinkPad<-->dongle<-->DVI cable<-->monitor connection supports HDCP, by the way, so it'll play protected content.
    When I get around to it, I will also try plugging the ThinkPad into my TV via the similar MonoPrice HDMI / DisplayPort dongle.

  • Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS8

    I Had used an hdmi adapter to comment my iPad2 to my TV with great ease. After upgrading to IOS 8 I plugged it in as ususal, the screen popped up on the TV for a moment then the TV went blank and I got an error on the pad that said this device was not supported. HELP!!!!

    I have iPad 2 it just happen to me right after I updated to IOS 8 but it has happen to me before in IOS 7. I have Sony TV to fix it I would shut the TV off unplug then plug the HDMI adapter back into the IPad then turn on the tv. It still has back screen then I would touch the screen for input then the picture is on . Sometimes I would have to do this couple times . I would go months without any problems then the message would show up then I would have to do the something over again. Do not know if it's the Sony TV or the IPad not communicating with each other. The HDMI adapter I have  is from Apple.

  • Lighting to HDMI Adapter Not Working

    I am using an Apple Lightning to HDMI AV adpater (Model A1438, Firmware 7.0.0 {11A7451}, Harware 1.0.0) with an iPhone 5 (MD655LL/A) and iOS 7.0.4 (11B554a). With two different adapters (same version) we seeming to have suddenly lost the ability to mirror using these adapters. Having been able to mirror since the recent iOS update we are puzzled. Any ideas on why this would be happening?

  • SAP PI FTP sender adapter not working with SAP ECC over Itanium

    Hi,
    We have been running normally SAP PI 7.0 SP14 with no issue for a while.
    We are now in the process of migrate the SAP ECC system from PA risc to IA platform. We are performing some tests between SAP PI and SAP ECC to check that the platform migration is not affecting us in any way and we have found that FTP adapter sender is not working anymore (receiver is working as usual).
    We place some files in the new ECC system and when PI goes to retreive the files it is like it can not read anything. It gives no error but it does not pick any file. This is not happening with the old platform.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks a lot for your help
    Diana

    Hi,
    I am using FTP connection and for the receiver it is working fine.
    Thanks

  • Re: Satelite L850-13R - HDMI is not working

    I have been using my HDMI cable to connect Laptop and TV very rare. It was just fine. Yesterday I used it and it worked, then I have turned it again today and it is not working anymore. What could I do to make it working again?

    That means that there is no signal to tv. Nothing happens when I press fn+f5. I have tried a lot of different things, such as reinstalling my video card drivers. Nothing works. My laptop seems to be able to see my computer when I press detect, but tv says that there is no signal and that there is no cable plugged in to tv...

    Hey rmacbeth, I'm sorry to hear about your iPad troubles. It seems like with every major iOS release, these issues come up on older models (the iPad 3 is relatively new though...weird)
    Anyways, it sounds like you've tried everything already and nothing seems to be working. If you're sure that it's a software issue with iOS and has nothing to do with your physical home button, I'd recommend restoring your iPad to factory settings by doing the following:
    1. Make a backup of your iPad (just connect it and select the backup option in iTunes)
    2. Next, select factory restore. It'll ask you to back up your iPad here if you haven't already.
    3. Try quickly setting it up as a new iPad.
    4. Try to duplicate the issue with the freezing, just use it for a day and see if it happens at all
    5. If everything seeems to be working, restore again except this time, do it from the backup you made earlier
    6. Try again to see if the issue comes up by using it normally in a day
    7. If it does happen again, take it in to the Apple store to get it looked at as there may be some underlying software issue that a factory restore can't resolve
    Again, sorry about your iPad, I hope you can resolve your issues quickly!

  • Encore CS6 does not start / freezes - Message: Encore does not work anymore (Win 8.1)

    Hello,
    Encore CS6 does not work. When I launch the Programm a message appears "Encore does not work anymore" and I can only choose close or debug.
    How can I solve this error?
    By the way it is really early to stop the development of an DVD authoring software!
    Thanks
    Michael

    Did EncoreCS6 work at one time, or is this a new install and it has never worked? If it worked before... what changed?
    With Windows, an update will OFTEN/SOMETIMES cause a problem with the graphics adapter driver
    What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
    What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
    Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
    For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information

    Hi,
    I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
    In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
    The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
    In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
    For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
    More explanation I gave above.
